I’m so excited to be representing Lucy at this year’s Wanderlust
Festival on Oahu. This will be a 4-day experience held at the gorgeous
Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s North Shore. Daily Activities include
yoga, music, food and arts, perfect for everyone! Being a local girl
from the island, I wanted to share a true local’s guide of some of my
favorite spots from beaches, eats to adventures near where Wanderlust
will be held.

Favorite local eating spots:

We love our food trucks and the food is delicious! Hawaii has some
of the best food and fruits, so be sure to try it once before you
knock it.

Pupukea
Grill – This food truck is a favorite on the North Shore
where you just might run into some of the best professional surfers in
the world. Try their poke bowls! (Marinated fresh ahi tuna)

Haleiwa
Bowls – These acai bowls are a perfect treat after a great
workout or after a day of being in the sun.

Favorite local beaches:

One tip for all tourists, it doesn’t matter how great of a swimmer
you are, NEVER turn your back on the water. The currents are strong
here, so just be cautious. If there are warning flags out, DO NOT go in.

Ke’iki Beach - This beach is my ultimate favorite on the
North Shore. Not only do you get to enjoy watching big surf, there are
so many unique shells you can collect here. You might even be lucky
and find a sunrise shell.

Shark’s Cove - When the waves are calm, this is a great
place to snorkel and see some of the most beautiful, tropical fishes.
Be sure to wear appropriate footwear, as they are a lot of sea urchins.

Waimea Bay - This is a beautiful bay where the waves can
get huge and occasionally when they hit 30-40 ft., they hold the ‘The
Eddie’. It’s a sight to see seeing these massive wave riders.

Favorite adventures:

If you’re feeling adventurous, there are so many fun and exciting
things you can while you’re here.

North Shore Shark Cage
Tours – Ever wanted to swim with sharks in a safe
environment? This is a thrilling and one-of-a-kind experience. You
might even get to see whales now that they are in season.
